I just came across this comment in response to a skeptical remark about Psychic Sam who supposedly predicted Obama's win...
It is too bad that many people live inside a vacuum. If they cannot actually see something with their eyes, it doesn't exist. Do you inhale oxygen each and every day? Can you see it? Prove that it exists. I rest my case. Thank you Sam for your predictions.
This person has a point. And it's lodged in their hippocampus.

lol, he's absolutely right. I CANNOT prove the existence of oxygen. I lack the proper equipment and training. Thankfully I know of innumerable people who have both. The same can't be said of those who can prove his claims, though.

Ya...sounds like he skipped a few too many science classes. A more typical argument against skeptics is to use an emotion as their example. Love...you can't see it, touch it, or smell it (unlike teen spirit), but everyone knows when they experience it. Love exists but science can't measure it.
